"X Factor," which turned Mamaroneck's Carly Rose Sonenclar into a star, is holding
auditions
Thursday at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. They are the Fox show's only local tryouts.

The show is currently casting for its third season. It tries to find the best new solo artists and vocal groups in America. The winner gets a recording deal with Sony Music.

Sonenclar was a finalist on season two of "X Factor." She had her recording option picked up by Syco Music, which was founded by "X Factor" judge Simon Cowell and is a joint venture with Sony Music Entertainment.
